| [00:15.00] |
Don't want to work in a building downtown |
| [00:18.01] |
No, I don't want to work in a building downtown |
| [00:21.00] |
I don't know what I'm going to do |
| [00:23.70] |
Because the planes keep crashing always two by two |
| [00:27.05] |
Don't want to work in a building downtown |
| [00:29.97] |
No, I don't want to see it when the planes hit the ground |
| [00:33.00] |
|
| [00:36.86] |
Don't want to work in a building downtown |
| [00:39.20] |
Don't want to work in a building downtown |
| [00:42.11] |
Parking the cars in the underground |
| [00:45.03] |
The voices when they scream, well, they make no sound |
| [00:48.27] |
Want to see the cities rust |
| [00:51.28] |
And the troublemakers riding on the back of the bus |
| [00:54.68] |
|
| [00:55.10] |
Dear God, I'm a good Christian man |
| [00:57.78] |
I'm your boy, I know you understand |
| [01:00.22] |
That you got to work hard and you got to get paid |
| [01:03.45] |
The girl's thirteen, but she don't act her age |
| [01:06.35] |
She can sing like a bird in cage |
| [01:09.33] |
Oh Lord, if you could see her when she's up on that stage |
| [01:12.42] |
|
| [01:13.73] |
You know that I'm a God-fearing man |
| [01:15.96] |
You know that I'm a God-fearing man |
| [01:18.43] |
I just got to know if it's part of your plan |
| [01:21.44] |
To see my darling stand by your right hand |
| [01:24.68] |
I know that you'll do what's right, Lord |
| [01:27.80] |
For they are the lanterns and you are the light |
| [01:30.35] |
|
| [01:37.96] |
Now I'm overcome |
| [01:43.56] |
By the light of day |
| [01:49.53] |
My lips are near |
| [01:51.66] |
But my heart is far away |
| [01:55.75] |
Tell me what to say |
| [02:01.74] |
I'll be your mouthpiece |
| [02:03.90] |
|
| [02:04.67] |
Into the light of a bridge that burns |
| [02:06.79] |
As I drive through the city with the money that I earn |
| [02:09.81] |
To the dark of a starless sky |
| [02:12.74] |
I won't stare into nothing and I'm asking you why |
| [02:16.61] |
Lord, let me make her a star |
| [02:18.86] |
So the world can see who you really are |
| [02:21.56] |
|
| [02:22.76] |
Little girl, you're old enough to understand |
| [02:25.01] |
You'll always be a stranger in a strange, strange land |
| [02:28.21] |
Men are going to come while you're fast asleep |
| [02:30.91] |
So you better just stay close and hold onto me |
| [02:34.11] |
If mama's mockingbird don't sing well, |
| [02:37.43] |
Then daddy won't buy her no diamond ring |
| [02:39.82] |
|
| [02:40.95] |
Dear God, would you send me a child? |
| [02:43.57] |
Oh God, would you send me a child? |
| [02:46.22] |
Because I want to put it up on the TV screen |
| [02:49.12] |
So the world can see what your true word means |
| [02:52.58] |
Lord, won't you send me a sign? |
| [02:55.25] |
Because I just got to know if I'm wasting my time |
| [02:58.60] |
|
| [03:05.11] |
Now I'm overcome |
| [03:11.41] |
By the light of day |
| [03:17.65] |
My lips are near |
| [03:19.25] |
But my heart is far away |
| [03:23.66] |
But now the war is won |
| [03:28.85] |
How come nothing tastes good? |
| [03:32.03] |
|
| [03:51.25] |
Oh you're such a sensitive child |
| [03:53.26] |
You know you're such a sensitive child |
| [03:56.44] |
I know you're tired, but it's all right |
| [03:59.15] |
I just needed you to sing for me tonight |
| [04:02.85] |
You're going to have your day in the sun |
| [04:05.60] |
You know God loves the sensitive ones |
| [04:07.95] |
|
| [04:09.10] |
Oh, my little bird in a cage |
| [04:11.88] |
Oh, my little bird in a cage |
| [04:14.37] |
I need you to get up for me up on that stage |
| [04:17.24] |
Show all the men that you're old for your age |
| [04:21.13] |
Now in the times of fear |
| [04:22.96] |
But if you don't take it, it'll disappear |
| [04:25.71] |
|
| [04:27.19] |
Oh, my little mockingbird, sing |
| [04:29.51] |
Oh, my little mockingbird, sing |
| [04:32.10] |
I need you to get up on the stage for me, honey |
| [04:35.40] |
Show the men it's not about the money |
| [04:38.67] |
Want to hold a mirror up to the world |
| [04:41.02] |
So that they can see themselves inside my little girl |
| [04:43.94] |
|
| [04:44.92] |
Do you know where I was at your age? |
| [04:47.47] |
Any idea where I was at your age? |
| [04:50.11] |
I was working downtown for the minimum wage! |
| [04:53.27] |
And I couldn't let you just throw it all away |
| [04:56.54] |
Throw me a kid, God, throw me a knife |
| [04:58.89] |
So tell me Lord, am I the Antichrist? |
| [05:02.51] |
